Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

pro tip: very few people right now want to hear about how your conscience wouldn't let you vote for Kamala. shut the fuck up

With all the videos of police illegally entering people’s home using intimidation & force to detain & deport American if not worse. Black peoples have dealt with that for centuries. It’s police brutality. That is beyond unconstitutional. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt.… Now do you f’n get it?

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

All I'm saying is, the "Me me me me me more leftist than you" people on this app DIDNT EVEN VOTE. Don't listen to any of those dumb motherfuckers, they helped pave the road to hell, and they're still doing it.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

No! Stop this, major media! That’s _not_ what just happened! DOJ at _no_ point made _any_ commitment to “bring Garcia home,” nor did it ask for “more time” to “bring Garcia home.” It said that Garcia is in the custody of El Salvador and the court has no jurisdiction there. Get it right, dammit!

Beware the death spiral

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

NEWS: The House narrowly voted to approve the GOP budget blueprint by a vote of 216-214, which aims to make massive cuts to Medicaid and give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman. Racism...the downfall of America.

During COVID, we learned the hard way that nearly all our hospital PPE i.e. masks, gowns, gloves comes from China. A 104% tariff could send us straight back to pandemic-level shortages or drive healthcare costs even higher.🫠

Having a real hard time understanding the people who didn’t vote still celebrating the fact they didn’t vote. Do you not care about America, or what’s the malfunction going on?

This. ⬇️

Turns out Ireland could single-handedly put a stop to this entire nonsense.

If you’re opposed to fascism and you still use X, then no you aren’t.

Way to go Shaheen. You learned nothing since the election. Zero. Ask the non-voters.

Autism and POTS both get read as laziness, anxiety, or drama. But what they really share is this - a nervous system that can’t keep up with what the world demands - sensory, cognitive, physical, emotional. You’re not weak.

This is brilliant.
